I was just browsing on the Korin site, and came across these paring/fruit knives hidden in the Kitchenware page, I haven't noticed these before, but they look like a good buy for the price. I haven't seen many Wa handled paring knives and these come with a wooden saya also, thought I'd share for those interested

Thank you for posting about the fruit knives. :) They have a regular Western handle, but as you mentioned also come with a saya cover. They work pretty well for a little $8 knife. We also recently got the Misono fruit knife which is awesome and growing popular. You can resharpen it like any other paring knife and its $25.

I might be wrong, but wouldn't these make good steak knives? You could get 6 for about $50.

Maybe?? I'm not sure. Its not serrated though, but if they don't have to be serrated it would work. :)

I absolutely love my Misono fruit knife. It's the most used knife in my house!
